Consumer Description

REPEATED FLOODING IN DRIVER-SIDE BACK AND PASSENGER FRONT. IT HAS BEEN THE VAPOR SEAL ALONG THE DOOR, TOP PART OF DOOR NEAR WINDOW, SEAL ALONG THE WINDSHIELD AND FINALLY FROM THE SUNROOF LEADING TO DRAIN LEADING TO INTERIOR OF CAR. I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE THAT NO ELECTRICAL ISSUES HAVE INCURRED, BUT DUE TO THE HIGH RISK OF THAT HAPPENING, WANTED TO REPORT THE SITUATION. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR OVER A YEAR (FIXED VARIOUS ISSUES WITH FLOODING EVERY FEW MONTHS). BMW ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE X3 HAS WATER ISSUES BUT THAT IT IS NO FAULT OF THEIR'S. I UNDERSTAND A VAPOR SEAL NEEDING TO BE REPLACED ONCE IN A WHILE- BUT THIS IS FAR AND BEYOND HAPPENING WAY TOO FREQUENTLY. JUST DON'T WANT ANY OF THE LARGER POSSIBILITIES TO COME INTO PLAY.
